Back in the day, when factories were spending the big $$$ on motocross, teams brought all the fringe benefits into the program. One early player in sport training was Jeff Spencer, the man who built and healed broken racers for Team Honda.
I remember one time I chatted with Spencer and Chuck Sun...seems that Chuck was mixing something that looked like bird seed in a blender. It was one of Spencer's concoctions; top racers were starting to look for the edge both on and off the race track.
Jeff was big in the formation of diet, training, and rehab. He went on to be a key player on Lance Armstrong's traveling crew at Tour de France events.
As always, it was important to frame the characters who were pivotal in the sport, then bring them to Cycle News readers. It was an essential part of my job.
